I was bitching about having to hide my tampon string for a nude photo shoot when one of my friends suggested I try the Instead cup—a little plastic cup you jam up your junk to catch the effluvia sloughing off the walls of your uterus. It can be worn up to 12 hours, and most are washable and re-usable. And to think, all this time I’ve been stuffing a piece of cotton bleached with carcinogens up there… these cups are supposedly made of medical-grade silicone, so they are a safe alternative.

I had some free samples from last year’s Adult Expo, but I’d been too weirded-out to try them until now. The ones I got are called Instead SoftCups, and they are designed to be worn during sex, so that porn stars don’t have to take time off when they’re on their periods. I guess it fits up under your cervix, out of harm’s way even when a 15” cock is ramming your innards like a chocolate molcajete. Nice!

In the interest of science, I tried one out the second day of my period. And I’m here to tell you: It works exactly as advertised! I didn’t try the sex part (I haven’t had sex since the Sgt. Peanut fiasco back in September), but I wore it all day for around 12 hours, and it was great. Very easy to insert, and no mess to remove…although it was kinda weird having to reach up inside my vagina to fish it out. But definitely doable—the samples I had were meant to be disposable, so I plan to go online and get a Luna Cup or one of the reusable brands. Let’s hear it for innovation!!!!!!!!!!

that was fucking nasty. her period color at least, mine is a gorgeous baby pink like an angel floating on a cloud. her’s looked like a homeless rat’s period stream. she must live in a bad part of town.

I am a female and surprisingly not a hippie…. I’m 100% against anything besides a nice pink penis inside of me and often times his tongue too. This woman doesn’t understand that flow is healthy, let your vagina breath you now loose uptight cunt.

Anyways, these things are old news…you’re better off writing about condoms than having your vag stretched out. eeeekkkkkk.
